Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated May 8, 2021 William Harold Barron is my paternal great uncle, which is via common ancestry William Henry Barron and Emily May Jones. William was initially identified with information that came with a photograph of the William Henry Barron family. Some early records list his name as Harold W. Barron, so it is likely that he later changed his name to William H. Barron, similarly to his brother, who also changed his name. The birth record and marriage record lists the middle name of Anna as Hattie, which is anglicized from Hedwig in German. According to her granddaughter, Mary Ann Keane (née Barron), Anna always said her middle name was Hedwig. Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent and family structure of William Harold Barron has been sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of William begins with the census record, which shows him living with his parents. The basis for the family structure begins with the census records, and is followed by the obituaries of both William and Anna. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below. 1893 BIRTH OF ANNA HEDWIG JENSEN Researched by Timothy J.
